60mm Aluminium Capping for Wall Rafter

Choice of colour, length and base gasket

Superior sealing at wall abutment!

Premium quality, Inner Capping for 60mm (2 9/25") timber rafters abutting a wall. The Wall Bar comes as three parts, a mill-finished aluminium Inner Capping, an aluminium powder-coated Wall Outer Capping and cast aluminium End Cap.

The Inner Capping gets screwed to a rafter and its rubber gaskets create a water-tight seal over the glazing. The durable Wall Outer Capping snap-fixes securely over the Inner Capping to conceal fixings and prevent water ingress. Wall Outer Capping extends upwards to form a high up-stand that can be over-flashed if required. A heavy duty End Cap provides secure and decorative closure to end of bars, while helping to prevent slippage of glazing material.

Base Gaskets, which sit directly on timber rafters underneath the glazing material, can be supplied to provide a rubber seal under glazing material if required.

Fitting ALUKAP-XR Wall Bar

Cut the Inner Capping and rubber gaskets to desired length
Insert gasket into Inner Capping gasket grooves
If using, fix Base Gasket to timber rafter before laying glazing material
Position Inner Capping on glazing, directly over rafter
Drill pilot holes through pre-drilled holes in Inner Capping
Screw Inner Capping down to create a uniform seal on glazing material - be careful not to over-tightening*
Screw the End Cap in place
Use sealant to make additional seals around abutments or connections to walls, hip bars or ridge bars if required
Cut Wall Outer Capping to required length and snap-fix on to the Inner Capping**

* If fitting with glass, or polycarbonate, which does not extend across rafter to wall, then a timber packer should be used to the same height as the glazing material.
** Ribbed backing of upstand is a suitable surface for sealant and the upstand can be over flashed.
